Duterte arrested in Manila for international crimes charges

Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested on an international warrant at Manila airport after returning from Hong Kong. The arrest follows a request from the International Criminal Court, which has been investigating him since 2018. Duterte faces allegations of "crimes against humanity" linked to his anti-drug campaign, which reportedly resulted in thousands of deaths. The Philippine government received the warrant through Interpol. Human rights advocates view Duterte's arrest as a significant move towards accountability. They believe it could help victims and their families seek justice.
